One interesting thing that I have noticed between the REIN/OWL and the Modlite PLHv2 and OKW heads is the color of the light as perceived by both the user and the individual caught in the beam: the Modlite heads are much "cooler" in tint, which is more unpleasant than the REIN/OWL when being inside the beam, but I prefer the "warmer" tint of the REIN/OWL when employing the light, as it seems to illuminate whatever is inside the beam in a manner that picks up subtle features better than the cooler Modlites.
More investigation around this phenomenon is needed and it might be partially due to personal preference, but it is soemthing to consider as well...
